William Singletary, 65, Courageous Witness of Mumia's Innocence Steven Argue 2012-01-12 8:59 PM

"I learned from William Singletary's wife, Jeannette, that he died this morning. Bill was a courageous man who lived fighting to make the truth known that Mumia is innocent in the shooting death of police officer Daniel Faulkner. For that Bill suffered severe personal and financial consequences. I've known Bill since June 1990 when he came forward with his eyewitness testimony for Mumia and as a witness at the PCRA hearing in 1995, when I was co-counsel for Mumia." -Rachel Wolkenstein (image/jpeg)

Photo Essay: Party Like It's 1960s South Africa! NOLA Anarcha 2012-01-11 8:37 PM
This article is a photo essay of the direction, motivation, and consequences of the profound and fast-paced changes happening in the CBD and lower mid-city in New Orleans. Since Katrina, the re-colonization of the city by rapacious Capital has accelerated to a head-spinning pace. The neighborhood documented is not unique, the same kinds of activities are taking place city-wide. When colonization occurs on such a massive scale, only a total revolt can change the dystopian future the present developments are creating. (text/html)

From Carnival to Rebellion: #Occupy Mardi Gras NOLA Anarcha 2012-01-10 5:32 PM

Carnivalesque as Protest Sensibility which talks a lot about local anarchists and other unruly carnivalesque factions, such as the Krewe of Eris, local professor John Clark's writings, and it even mentions this very blog, if we may humbly admit.

The Apartheid Police State of New Orleans, Louisiana Nola anarcha 2012-01-10 4:44 PM
Louisiana has had the distinction of being at, or close to, the #1 spot on all the wrong lists for a long time: lack of education, poverty rate, child poverty, inequality, corruption, nepotism, racism, incarceration rate, illiteracy, lack of health care, etc...

Longshore Workers, Truckers: Shut the Ports, Coast to Coast! Internationalist Group 2011-12-29 2:35 PM
Following the nationally-coordinated police evictions last month of Occupy Wall Street and encampments across the country, on December 12 the Occupiers struck back. Ports up and down the West Coast were blockaded, from Seattle to San Diego. Despite a barrage of hostile propaganda in the media, opposition from union bureaucrats and heavy police repression in some places, overall the blockade was successful -- this time. The blockade was called in solidarity with longshore workers fighting a union-busting assault in Longview, Washington and port truckers seeking union recognition in the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach. This support should have been greeted. But now the class war on the West Coast docks is coming to a head, and it can't be waged from the outside. Bay Area labor has called for a caravan to Longview. The goal should be a real occupation of the terminal by the workers to prevent the loading of the scab cargo. Longshore militants have called on the longshore unions to shut down every port on the West Coast, and the East and Gulf Coasts, to smash EGT's union-busting. Can it be done? Yes, but only though sharp struggle against the pro-capitalist labor bureaucracy. (text/html)
